# Introduction

The Peering API will be developed as a methodology to remove obstacles for interdomain interconnection through global Internet Routing.
By automating interconnections between Autonomous Systems, any network which implements the API will automatically be able to peer with any network participating in public or private scenarios in a time faster than it would take to configure sessions manually.
The proposed API and automation will ensure that networks can get as interconnected as possible, as fast as possible, with as little manual work as possible.
This improves end-user performance for all applications using networks supporting the Peering API.
The Peering API is a mechanism that allows networks to automate interdomain interconnection between two entities through global Internet Routing.
Using the API, networks will be able to automatically request and accept peering interconnections between Autonomous Systems in public or private scenarios in a time faster than it would take to configure sessions manually.
By speeding up the peering turn-up process and removing the need for manual involvement in peering, the API and automation will ensure that networks can get interconnected as fast, reliably, cost-effectively, and efficiently as possible.
As result, this improves end-user performance for all applications using networks interconnection supporting the Peering API.


Business Justification:
1. Reduction in person-hours spent configuring peering
2. Reducing network latency through expansion of peering relationships

By using the Peering API, entities requesting and accepting peering can significantly improve the process to turn up interconnections by:

* Reducing in person-hours spent configuring peering
* Reducing configuration mistakes by reducing human interaction
* And by peering, reducing network latency through expansion of interconneciton relationships
